One of the most important tasks that you can undertake when starting or growing your business is to sit down and take the time to craft a Mission Statement.
The Mission Statement will help you to focus on your goal and plot your path as you build.
The 5 key elements of a Mission Statement are:
1.??????Purpose:?What is the primary purpose and reason that your business exists?
2.??????Capability:?In what way (or ways) does your business excel? What sets you apart?
3.??????Inspiration:?Your mission statement should be inspiring and motivating, since part of its function is to (re)calibrate and (re)energize your business. Remember that your statement will help you inform clients and team members on what you and your business stand for.
4.??????Clarity:?You want to strike a balance between a functional and useful mission statement, and one that is succinct and portable. Try to keep it simple and use bullet points, headings and short paragraphs.
5.??????Vision:?What are you known for in the marketplace and community, and perhaps more importantly, what do you want to be known for in the years ahead?
